eki N, Chuganji Y, Furumoto Y, Sakata A. Centrilobular zonal necrosis as a hallmark of a distinctive subtype of autoimmune hepatitis. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2016 Apr; 28(4):391-7.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM:
Centrilobular zonal necrosis (CZN) is a known histological variant of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). However, the significance of CZN is yet to be fully elucidated. This study aimed to determine whether CZN is a hallmark of a distinctive subtype of AIH.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
To ascertain a molecular genetic diagnosis for subjects with neonatal/infantile intrahepatic cholestasis (NIIC) by the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and to perform a genotype-phenotype correlation.

Nardelli S, Gioia S, Pasquale C, Pentassuglio I, Farcomeni A, Merli M, Salvatori FM, Nikolli L, Torrisi S, Greco F, Nicoletti V, Riggio O. Cognitive Impairment Predicts The Occurrence Of Hepatic Encephalopathy After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt. Am J Gastroenterol. 2016 Apr; 111(4):523-8.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major problem in patients treated with TIPS. The aim of the study was to establish whether pre-TIPS covert HE is an independent risk factor for the development of HE after TIPS.

Kremer AE, Gonzales E, Schaap FG, Oude Elferink RP, Jacquemin E, Beuers U. Serum Autotaxin Activity Correlates With Pruritus in Pediatric Cholestatic Disorders. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2016 Apr; 62(4):530-5.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
Pruritus is a common symptom of cholestatic liver disorders. The present study aimed at evaluating autotaxin (ATX), a lysophospholipase recently identified as potential cause for cholestatic pruritus, in pediatric cholestatic diseases presenting with or without itching.

Weiss B, Krauthammer A, Soudack M, Lahad A, Sarouk I, Somech R, Heimer G, Ben-Zeev B, Nissenkorn A. Liver Disease in Pediatric Patients With Ataxia Telangiectasia: A Novel Report. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2016 Apr; 62(4):550-5.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare genetic multiorgan disease. Although gastrointestinal involvement is known, hepatic involvement in A-T has not been investigated. We aimed to study the hepatic involvement in a large cohort of patients with A-T.

METHODS:
A retrospective review of patients, studied from January 1986 to January 2015 at a National A-T Center. Clinical data including demographic, genetic, laboratory, nutritional, radiographic, and histological data were retrieved.
